"With Lamelles, Cédric Delorme-Bouchard cuts the human body into disconcerting poetry. The lighting designer, scenographer and director draws a curtain of light on stage, creating a clear boundary between the dancers and the audience." Radio-Canada Ottawa, Stéphanie Rhéaume

"The performance is undeniably a stylistic exercise, but executed with such mastery, in such an admirable quest for beauty, such a brilliant combination of formalism and emotion, that fascination is constantly present." Christian St-Pierre, Le Devoir

"Cédric Delorme-Bouchard created this unique and audacious show, Lamelles, where he explores the body as I have never seen it before. (...) Cédric Delorme-Bouchard offers here something resolutely different that can only be an inspiration for creators. " Marie-Claire Girard, Huffington Post

"With Lamelles, Cédric Delorme-Bouchard signs a most fascinating first production. Arranging bodies and light in a show without words where music is omnipresent" Alexane Roy , MonThéâtre
